Hi All

im planning on buying a set of the gtc's and just wondering what you guys think about the wheel size and if it will fit on my r33 perfectly.

18x9+24 Front

18x10+24 Rear

Im not sure what tyre size should i get. Will a wide tyre fit in the rears without adjusting the camber or rolling the fenders? What set up will be perfect for to fit for my r33?

If any has the same wheel size or similar set up can you please post a pic?

Thanks heaps.

will fit nicely, the 10's will be a tight fit with a big tyre you'll get a 265 with a roll of guards you will need to run some camber as it will be a bit mexican but depending how low wll depend how much camber. front should fit up without any dramas, depends how low you want to sit.

Hi

Yeah thanks for the reply. Say if i have a smaller tyre size in the rear you reckon it'll fit nicely? Well my car isnt that low only 2 finger space front the guard with my current rims. I can always adjust the height cos i can adjust my suspension.

I also have another question, what is the lowest tyre size for the 10's?

Thanks for the help

Hey there

Looks nice man.. Yeah can you take a closer picture of the wheels on the side. cos i want to see how much it comes out from the guard or how close it is to the guard.

Cheers.

They should fit alright with the tyres I suggested, in fact the 225's and 255's should be a big help with all your clearence issues you are worried about. But with wheels of those specs, definitely get your guards rolled. You will need it, especially after lowering. Lowering will also induce natural negative camber.

The tyres I suggested though will give you the most amount of tyre stretch you can legally have with those wheels as well as keep your overall rolling diameter as close as possible to factory.

So lower your car, roll the guards, fir the wheels, pick up chicks. :thumbsup:

Hey guys

Thanks all for your replies. Yeah mine is a gtst. Im just worried about getting a defect for my wheels. The mods i've done to my car i try to minimize any defects as much as possible. All my piping in my engine bay is all original parts so when a cop do pull me over it looks stock as a rock so there is no issues =]

Yeah pls advise for my gtst what tyre size will be nice without any dramas? The wheel size might be too big for my car you guys reckon?

I run 18x8.5 with 235's on the front and 18x9 with 255's on the back of mine with GTC's. Not sure on the offset since i bought them off a mate, but at a guess they would be + high 20's.

with those sizes if you run your car low you will need to either roll, flare or camber (or a combination of these)

if you keep it 4wd spec then you'll be fine... (but who wants to do that?)

I'm running 18x10 + 18 front and rear, rears are 275/35 and front 265/35, this is on a GTS-4 but has had GTR guards put on the back though

Yeah thats wheels are heaps too big for my car. I'll probably gonna go with a smaller size maybe 18x8 front and 18x9 rears.

hey mate you can run a 235 on a 10" just a fair bit of stretch which you wont need with your current hieght id go either 245 or 255..

levinboy has a gtr so 265's all roundis no problem becuase his guards are heaps wider from the factory.

front i'd go with above suggestions

the wheel size you wont have any police dramas unless they are hanging outside the guards and your tyres are fairly stretched so i wouldnt worry to much but its always a good idea to have back RWC rims.. stockies ftw

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
